What happens when you type:

	telnet localhost 110

Does it respond with a line that looks something like:

Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to mailhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 3.0b18) at mailhost starting. 

??

As for users, QPopper uses the same list of users that you can see
in /etc/passwd. Also, be sure to read the documentation that comes with
QPopper as there are some Linux specific options that need to be set
when you run the ./configure command. (If you're using shadow passwords
for instance.)
